The district encompasses 53.42 square
miles and is located primarily in northwest Dallas County with a smaller
portion in southeast Denton County. The school district's boundaries are
not the same as municipal boundaries; therefore, Carrollton-Farmers Branch
Independent School District provides instructional services to children who
live in portions of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, Dallas, and
Irving.
The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent
School District's primary objective is providing a child-centered educational
program. The system prides itself on the first-rate quality of its schools.
An integral part of the dynamic, fast-growing Metrocrest, the district provides
classrooms where teachers can teach and children can learn. Community
involvement, parental support, dedicated staff members, and personalized
instruction contribute to making our schools excellent learning environments. A
diversified curriculum is available because the district's officials realize
the importance of tailoring instruction to meet all students' individual needs.
Offerings include Bilingual education, gifted education, fine arts, special
education, English as a Second Language, vocational education, computer
technology, business education, and advanced placement courses. Students may
also participate in a number of co-curricular activities and
athletics.
Because our district values and
appreciates continual professional development, hundreds of opportunities
are available to support any teacher at whatever stage of learning he or she
may be. It is a source of pride to see the value that our teachers place on
lifelong learning.
Lewisville ISD has an enrollment of over
39,000 students this year. Lewisville ISD encompasses 5 High Schools (9-12

construction phases are complete), 10 Middle Schools (6-8 grade), and 31
Elementary Schools (K-5 grade). The ISD also has a Career Center, a Learning
Center, and a Natatorium. Construction is underway for a north Carrollton
Middle School, and another learning center facility. 
Selling Your Home >Child Proof Before Showing
As you prepare your home for the market, keep in mind that some of the people who will look at your home may bring along small children. Families with children may be looking for a larger home with more bedrooms and a bigger yard.
Prospective buyers will be accompanied by a real estate agent while touring your home, but that doesn't guarantee that the children will be supervised the entire time they are in your home. Every real estate agent has a story of a little person grabbing a Steuben apple from a low shelf, or of a toddler running full speed to the edge of a high deck.
Preparing your home to show involves common sense, such as removing sharp or breakable objects from low shelves and making sure that electric appliances don't have dangling cords that little hands can reach. If there is a possibility of falling from a porch or deck, place a visible note advising parents to supervise small children. Some sellers keep a few toys around to entertain young house hunters while their parents are looking at the home.
